This is your essential guide to matchday at Keepmoat Stadium.
FAMILY FUNThe Family Zone, occupies a large section of the East Stand concourse, which has been transformed into a colourful and exciting family activity area packed with fun features.
Youngsters can enjoy taking part in a range of activities with such as table tennis, quick feet (football skills), face painting, drawing and colouring.
And make sure you arrive early because Donny Dog is undertaking a series of challenges so arrive at 6:45pm to find out what they are and join in. Rachel Stringer presenter on Nickelodeon’s Nick Kicks will be in attendance learning how to become a matchday announcer with the help of our very own Jonathan Heath and if you arrive early you could see one of the squad attempt Nick Kicks Chip and Bin Challenge. This will take place on the pitch between 6.30pm and 6.45pm.
